The guide rails over the extension 8 of the table converge for the purpose of retarding the movement of a bundle when in engagement with the extension 8 of the table; The diverging end of the rail 24 terminates short of the diverging end of the rail 23 and is engaged by a trip arm 25 pivoted to the frame 1 andca-rrying a roller 26 adapted v--to rideupon Vthe upper run of the conveyor, the conveyor being provided at spaced intervals with cam-shaped lugs 27 to-engage the roller26to cause a swinging movement of the trip arm 25. mentvwi'th the conveyorcauses the arm 25 to maintain a position to cooperate with the rail 23 in receiving a bundle in a'horizontalfposiftion from the chute 3 of the binder-and when the roller 26 is engaged by :one ofthe cam-v` shaped elements 27 the trip arm 25 is rocked freeing the butt end of the bundle so as to ene gage with the upper` flight of the conveyor with a pair of the l,rods 20in engagement` therewith,

causingythe bundle to move with the conveyor in'avertical position between the guide rails 23 and `24`until the'butt-end of the bundle vpasses `onto.theextensionV 8 of thetable whence the upper end ofthe bundle 'is retarded byfthe'con'" vergingportions of the vra ils 23and 24, causing the bundle to assume an' inclined position, as shown in Figure 1, due to the pairof rods in engagement therewith passing 'downwardly at the discharge.' end of 'the conveyor. Thisfbundle retains" vthe stated position until engaged byf'a following bundle, .Whence'the latter is shoved onto the table 7 between a pair of pivotal jaws 28. The jaws 28 are of arcuate formation piv-f oted to ears 29 secured toa vertically arranged shaft'locatedgon' a sub-frame 31 carriedby the outer end o'f 'thfeframe 1`. The 'shaft Y30is journaled to the sub-frameand the jawsare normally" urged towards each other by "springs 32. The jaws attheir pivots are provided with stops 33 and 34, The.purpose of thestops is to limit the movement ofthe rjaws towards each other and away from each. The bundlescob lectedin the jaws, thev latter slightly yield so' as AtoV accommodate a plurality' ofjrbundles` 'ln stacked formation on thetable `and' Vsecured to the shaft de .anfarrn 35 to Vwhich is pivoted acontrol lever 36 Wherebyithe' operator on the binder mayY rotate theA shaft for swinging the jaws outwardly on thetable carrying with said jaws thestacked bundles. An arm 37 Vis connected to the pivoted'endl of one oi the jaws and is in turn pivoted to a control rod 38'v/hereby the operator on the binderfmay swingone of' the jaws away fromfthe otherjaw to release the stackedv bundles upon the ground in' shocked formation." The delveryof the stacked bundles from the table onto the ground may be accom# plished rapidly by the operator sov that the Vjaws can return to a position over the table ready to receive the'A following bundles fromthe conveyor.
